What the AI looks for in Kids' Shower Curtains
- Material
- Choose a polyester fabric curtain, or a PEVA or EVA liner, over PVC vinyl PVC can contain plasticizers and gives off a strong chemical smell, which matters in a small, warm bathroom that kids use.
- Size match
- 72 x 72 inches for a standard tub, about 72 x 84 inches for high-mounted rods, and about 54 inches wide for stall showers A curtain that is too narrow leaves gaps, and one that is too long pools on the floor and grows mildew.
- Liner compatibility
- Printed fabric curtains need a separate waterproof liner hung on the same hooks inside the tub Most decorative kids' prints are water-resistant at best, so splashing at bath time soaks through and fades the print.
- Washability
- Machine washable on gentle, with colorfast printing Kids' bathrooms get splashed a lot, and soap scum or mildew has to come out without the design bleeding.
- Hem and hanging hardware
- A weighted hem, plus reinforced grommets or stitched buttonholes A weighted hem keeps the curtain from billowing onto a child in the tub, and reinforced holes keep it from tearing when kids yank it.
Brands that matter
- Ambesonne: Large catalog of printed fabric shower curtains with many kids' themes, sold without a liner.
- Allure Home Creation: Makes kids' themed PEVA shower curtains and liners.
- Disney: Licensed character designs from several manufacturers, so quality varies by maker.
What to avoid
- PVC vinyl curtains with a strong chemical smell
- Hanging a fabric printed curtain with no liner over a tub kids splash in
- Curtains with no hem weights or magnets that cling to a child in the tub
- Bundled plastic hooks so thin they snap within weeks
Questions
Do I need a liner with a kids' fabric shower curtain?
Usually yes. Most printed fabric curtains only resist water, so hang a PEVA or fabric liner inside the tub and the decorative curtain outside.
Will a standard curtain fit a stall shower?
No. Standard curtains are 72 inches wide, while stall showers usually need one about 54 inches wide.
